Lindsay Edmunds

Lindsay Edmunds lives a quiet normal life in southwestern Pennsylvania, except when she is writing. Her fiction reflects two longstanding interests: fantasy and the relationships people have with machines. The first computer she ever owned was a Mac Plus, circa 1988. That little beige toaster changed her life.

Cornered and facing separation from Anna, Cel dives into Networld, leaving that metal, silicon, and plastic body behind like shed skin.
